Letters, we get letters, we get lots of cards and letters every day. Even fan mail from La Russophobe! Letter to the Editor: Reply to “Given Free Publicity On NTV, Khodorkovsky Only Incriminates Himself Further” (06/11/2011). In a recent blog post, … Continue reading

The Starshov Vs. Markov Bitch Wars, NTV Version

We Are All Georgians
When even RFERL pans your film as a propagandistic crock for Saakashvili, I’d say its time to pause and reflect. That is what happened to Renny Harlin’s Five Days of August about the 2008 war in South Ossetia, and looking … Continue reading

Orientalism Overload
This might well be my favorite cable so far – perhaps even better than the Caucasus wedding - courtesy of US ambassador to Iran Bruce Laingen in August 1979. Now maybe US diplomats are culturally West-centric and insular today, but they’ve … Continue reading

Trolling The Liberasts About Khodorkovsky
I can’t be bothered writing a serious post on the recent Khodorkovsky news (prosecution seeks 14 year sentence, he makes a speech that would be awe-inspiring if it had any truth to it, etc). (Not as if I have anything more … Continue reading
